EMERGENCY BROADCAST

[The_Godslayer]

This is not a test.

This is your emergency broadcast system announcing the commencement of the Purge, sanctioned by the Discovery Admins.

ID's neutral to Liberty have been authorized for use during the purge, including Junkers. All hostile IDs can still be engaged.

Admin and Dev's personal ships have been granted immunity from the Purge and shall (probably) not be harmed.

Commencing at the forum post, any and all pirating, including unlawful-unlawful, will be legal on the Liberty borders until the change is reversed.

Police, Navy, and Intelligence services will be unavailable until the Purge is concluded.

Blessed be our New Discovery Gaming Community Staff, a governing system reborn.

May God be with you all.

Piracy knows no borders my friend, only boarders.

It's true lol
A Junker can pirate USI 5ker in cortez and Navy + Police can just watch and can't do anything

The USI 5Ker can just say no and if the Junker attacks, Navy and Police can engage in defense of an ally.

It's not true.

2.8 - All IDs can:
[...]
Attack others to defend allied ships within their own Zone of Influence.

Within Zone of Influence (Liberty, systems directly bordering Liberty, Coronado):

Please stop spreading misinformation.

No it's true - unless the Pirate starts shooting, there's nothing they can do

Piracy pretty sure counts as breaking laws, not a line that allows you to defend the ship


facts!

What a tragedy. Maybe you shouldn't be camping the Independent Worlds.

But that the transport is helpless and cannot be protected is wrong.

Yes, and the trader and the present law enforcement can just laugh at the pirate's demand and carry on as usual.

"Allies" - Ships of the same non-Generic affiliation or ID; Ships defined as your ID's allies on the in-game faction rep sheet; Ships working under a valid escort contract; or Ships you are currently flying in group with

Fair enough. Liberty corps are Allies in rep sheet. But if anyone else is pirated by non-hostile, liberty lawfuls cannot do squat, even if the target gets destroyed. Unless they were already in group that is afaik
